Okay. ..wow. I can't express enough my affection for this mangaka. Everything she writes I fall in love with. That conclusion, man...I had to go back and reread it, and then I had to kiss my sleeping husband just to make sure he was sleeping and I wasn't dreaming. Very effective. Well done, Sensei.
In my world, my own little twisted mind and heart, they are together. I can't imagine living with that grief.
